Bearish on SPYAfter gapping down last week, we consolidated for the remainder of the week and successfully filled the gap. February is likely to be a bearish month. There’s a possibility that a double top has formed, and if we fail to break last week’s high while dropping below 600, a sharp decline could follow.
Key support levels to watch if SPY moves lower next week:
595
575
567 (a break below this level makes 540 highly probable).
SPY trade ideas
SpyNow turn it around!
2 targets on Spy this week.. the first is 589 gap support.. Also the weekly 20sma is around 589-590 and if you look at your weekly chart fawkery abounds nears the weekly 20.
If we break below weekly 20 which I would say is a 50/50 then price will double to back to 575 or lower trendline like so
Looking at the charts you'll notice something, Spy hit this ATH in Dec led by Tech , this most recent push though was led by Cyclicals, financials, Healthcare.. so let's look at the above
Cyclicals
TVC:NYA - Represents 3000 stocks ..
Triple bottom completed at ATH .. price is overextended and closed with a dark cloud cover Bearish candle
AMEX:XLF
My sell signal really lit up here . Similar triple bottom as NYA..
Daily money flow lit up overbought
Rising wedge here at ATH..
Bearish engulfing candle
Trump election gap is my long term target but the 20/50 is my immediate target at 49.50
AMEX:XLV
Price stopped at a brick wall here. I'm not surprised though. This sector got really extended and when price approaches the 200sma extended it rarely passes .
Resistance areas
148 price action
Daily 200sma
Weekly 50sma
Immediate target pullback is 144 gap close.
So the 3 sectors pushing spy the last 2weeks are showing a pullback coming this week.
As far as tech goes , you can check out my QQQ post..
10yr chart and VIX look prime for a explosive move next week. Both are showing a bullish falling wedge
TVC:TNX 10yr chart
TVC:VIX
If by surprised price gaps up .
Entries
1hour chart 20/50sma + 5min 200sma + trendline = good short Entry 603-605.. stop loss over 607
If price gaps down.. short below 599.00 stop loss 602.00
Bearish Engulfing Reaction on First Round of New TariffsTrump plans new tariffs: 25% on Canadian and Mexican imports, 10% on Chinese goods, starting Saturday (Feb 1, 2025). Citing fentanyl and immigration concerns, the move threatens $1.6 trillion in North American trade, shaking markets and weakening regional currencies.
Trump's tariffs during his first term caused significant market volatility. Major tariff announcements, particularly against China, led to sharp declines, such as the Dow's 724-point drop in March 2018. Stocks of companies with China exposure, like Caterpillar and Boeing, were hit hardest. Conversely, signs of trade agreements or de-escalation often led to market rebounds, highlighting investor sensitivity to trade policy uncertainty.
Right now I believe we are in the beginning phase of the tariff dispute where retaliation ("tit for tat") headline risk remains heightened as we wait for the official response from Mexico, Canada, and China. This I believe will put continued pressure on AMEX:SPY NASDAQ:QQQ AMEX:IWM until there is a de-escalation off-ramp.
SPY bear target to 590.
Plan Your Trade : Behind The Scenes - Learning PerspectiveI created this video to help answer a question from a follower.
One of the biggest concerns for traders is how to use my research/info in a way that benefits them.
My Plan Your Trade videos are based on Daily & Weekly price patterns/cycles. I won't delve into the Intraday research much because it is almost impossible to predict 2 to 10-minute price bars/action throughout the day when new hits and external price data may dramatically change how price moves throughout the day. I would have to continue making videos every 30 to 45 minutes to help you understand the dynamics of intraday price action.
Either way, watch this video to learn a bit more about my research and why I'm trying to help traders learn to make better decisions.
I'm really not here to tell you what to trade - or when to trade. I'm here to help you learn to make better trading decisions ON YOUR OWN.
I try to help you learn to become a more knowledgeable and skilled trader by sharing some of my advanced research and demonstrating patterns, setups, price levels, and Cycle Patterns.
The only thing I can do to help you become a better trader is to help you learn better skills and techniques. If you treat trading like gambling, you'll go broke (often). If you understand trading as a process of grabbing profits when efficient and limiting risks, you'll survive and grow your account over time.
It's really that simple.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For Jan 31 : GAP PotentialAs we move into the end of January 2025, I'm still watching for technical failure near these higher levels. On Monday, we saw a huge breakdown in the markets just days after my Jan 21-23 Top prediction. Now, as we are moving into the Feb 9-11 DeepV base/bottom pattern - I've been expecting the markets to move into a downward trending phase - which has not happened yet.
The way I see the markets right now and how I would offer a general interpretation of the trend is "struggling to find/set a new trend".
In other words, the markets are really congested in a wide range. I believe the markets will attempt to move downward after today's opening GAP higher.
I believe the markets are going to continue to struggle to find support and trade in a downward-sloping consolidated price range until Q3/Q4:2025.
I believe the markets are reacting to earnings and continued support right now, but that will ultimately resolve as a breakdown phase over the next 60+ days - leading to the multiple BASE/BOTTOM patterns my cycle research suggests will happen.
So, I continue to explain what I see in the context of the broader cycle phases.
Gold and Silver may rally a bit today - but we have a CRUSH pattern on Monday - so try not to carry any positions over the weekend.
BTCUSD is struggling to move away from very strong consolidation. It is also setting up multiple Excess Phase Peak patterns. I believe we need to be patient as BTCUSD struggles to find a new trend. Right now, I see more downside potential than upside potential.
I would offer one warning about today. Today's opening GAP will likely prompt a breakdown in price (moving downward) as we head into next week.
I believe next week will be very volatile. Buckle up.
Get Some.

SPY Technical Analysis: for Jan. 31Market Structure Analysis:
SPY is trading within a symmetrical wedge, suggesting consolidation with a potential breakout approaching. Recent price action indicates higher lows, creating an upward bias, but resistance around $610 needs to be cleared for confirmation of further upside.
Support and Resistance Levels:
* Immediate Support: $600
* Key Support: $590 (aligned with the PUT Support Zone)
* Immediate Resistance: $610
* Major Resistance: $620 (Gamma Wall with strong Call resistance)
Indicators Analysis:
* MACD: Momentum is slightly bullish but flattening, signaling caution for overextension.
* Stochastic RSI: Currently overbought, which could lead to a short-term pullback or pause in the rally.
Gamma Exposure (GEX) and Options Insights:
* Positive Gamma is dominant, with the highest Call Resistance at $620.
* Put support is strong around $590, creating a likely floor unless broader market sentiment shifts.
Trade Setup Suggestions:
1. Bullish Breakout:
* Entry: Above $610
* Target: $620
* Stop Loss: Below $600
2. Bearish Rejection:
* Entry: Below $600
* Target: $590
* Stop Loss: Above $610
Outlook:
Today, SPY is likely to test the upper boundary of the wedge. A breakout above $610 could lead to strong bullish momentum targeting $620. However, if rejected, SPY may retrace towards $600 or even $590, especially if market sentiment weakens.
Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Always do your own research and trade responsibly.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 1-30 : Top PatternToday's Top pattern suggests the markets will attempt a minor rally in early trading, possibly targeting the 605 resistance level, then shift/rollover into a downward price trend (the TOP pattern) and being to move downward into the pre-DeepV low levels I've suggests (possibly near 585-588).
At that point, I suspect we'll get a few days of consolidation before we see the DeepV breakdown take place near Feb 11-13 (which may actually start on Friday the previous week).
Overall, I'm expecting the markets to roll into downward trending over the next 7 to 10+ days.
Gold and Silver are moving higher - which is great to see (finally). Maybe all Gold needed was to roll to the newer contract to finally break above the $2820 level. lol
Who knows.
This is the start of the BIG RALLY (Expansion Phase) in metals that should last almost all year. If my research is correct, Gold and Silver will reach a peak level near July-October 2025.
Bitcoin has moved into an inverted Excess Phase Peak pattern that may prompt a rally up to resistance near $108,450.
At this point, the inverted EPP pattern is in the consolidation phase and I'm watching for it to break above $105,500 (moving to the ultimate high), or below $100,270 (as an invalidation breakdown move).
The next 5+ trading days should be very interesting for everyone.
Get some.

$SPY Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Day TradersAll right today is the day after FOMC and some big earnings and because we had big earnings yesterday we have a pretty wide trading range today so just because we are options are we could have a more volatile day
The expected move on today’s contract is between 596 and 608. We did close underneath 35EMA and we have a red signal line.
If we get about the 35 EMA today which future so far are taking us above, we do have a down gap from yesterday and then a down gap from Monday that we haven’t completely filled yet. We also have an up gap from last Wednesday and they do overlap. It’s a little bit hard to see but right around 603 is the overlap .
To the downside, we have the 50 day moving average so far that has been our support this week. You could see on Monday. We did see that balance and underneath that the 30 minute two and removing average and the one hour 200 moving average those levels have been supporting us With some nice technical bounces
$SPY Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Today & Tomorrow (FOMC)35EMA Underneath us, island gap above us, top of the expected move on the day is 610 above that all-time highs and 612 on tomorrow’s contract. If I was looking at bear call spreads I’d probably do 611 612. Bottom of the move on the day 599 and underneath all of that is that 50 day moving average with the 30 minute and one hour 200 Bearily positioned underneath that. Let’s go 🙌
$SPY January 30, 2025AMEX:SPY January 30, 2025
15 Minutes.
We had AMEX:SPY between 604 and 599. But no trade as setup was difficult.
We have too many long bars inside the box.
Foe the fall 610.78 to 594.93 AMEX:SPY is between 599 and 605 which represents23.6% and 61.8% retracements.
So, sell is below 598 and buy above 606 only.
For the day for the fall 605.38 to 599.22 604.5 need to cross for a target 606-607 levels.
If the box breaks on either side, we should get a 4 to 5 $ move.
Symmetrical Triangle Formation – Breakout Imminent?📊 Chart Analysis:
A symmetrical triangle pattern has formed on the chart, signaling a potential breakout soon. This pattern is characterized by lower highs and higher lows, converging into a tightening range. Such formations indicate price consolidation before a strong directional move.
🔍 Key Observations:
The price is approaching the apex of the triangle, where a breakout or breakdown is likely to occur.
Volume contraction suggests that a significant move is on the horizon.
The previous trend was bullish, increasing the probability of an upward breakout, but confirmation is necessary.
📈 Bullish Scenario:
A breakout above the upper trendline with strong volume could trigger a continuation of the uptrend.
Potential targets can be calculated by measuring the height of the triangle and projecting it upwards.
Target if breaks above: $610
📉 Bearish Scenario:
A breakdown below the lower trendline may indicate trend reversal or a deeper correction.
Watching for volume confirmation and key support levels will be crucial.
Target if it breaks below: $585
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-29 : GAP ReversalToday's pattern suggests the markets are going to start off with a bit of a bang.
Although I expect the markets to try to hold up with some support, I believe, ultimately, the markets will break downward - continuing into the Deep-V Feb 9-10 bottom my cycles are projecting.
Gold and Silver are acting to attempt to hedge the global risks and could explode much higher over the next 30 - 60+ days.
Bitcoin looks like it will continue to move downward, first to 98k, then to 92k.
I'm seeing lots of Excess Phase Peak patterns in price action. This suggests the markets are struggling for direction right now and could move aggressively into a downward cycle phase before the Feb 9-10 Deep-V base/bottom.
Either way, we are going to find a lot of opportunities over the next 30+ days as traders.

$SPY January 29, 2025AMEX:SPY January 29, 2025
15 Minutes.
AMEX:SPY was around 604 levels most of the time yesterday. This sideways helped the moving averages to rise.
Also 604 was 61.8% retracement for the larger fall from 610 to 594 levels. Hence was resisted yesterday.
It was also 1.618 extension for the rise 594 to 599 to 596 level.
Today holding 602 levels i have a target 606-607 levels.
I will sell below 600 for 598.5 levels.
R: R on sell is not much favorable. So, i will not sell at the moment.
SPY 30-Minute Trading Session Tomorrow-Jan 29Trend: Consolidating in an upward channel.
Resistance: $610.78 (key), $604.50 (minor).
Support: $599.37 (mid-channel), $589.78 (bottom).
Indicators: MACD shows mild bullish momentum.
Stochastic RSI suggests oversold conditions.
Scenarios:
Bullish: Entry above $604.50, target $610.78, stop-loss $602.
Bearish: Entry below $599.37, target $589.78, stop-loss $601.50.
Note: Watch for potential market open volatility; request updates if needed.
GEX sentiment zones:
Key Observations:
1. Transition Zone (Blue Box):
* The current price is trading within the Transition Zone (~$600 to $610). This area indicates mixed GEX sentiment, where the price is likely to remain range-bound until it breaks decisively above or below.
2. Mildly Bullish Zone (Green Box):
* Above $610, the green zone extends toward the CALL resistance at $615 and ultimately toward $620.
* A breakout above $610 suggests bullish momentum with a target around $615. If momentum is strong, a gamma squeeze could push it toward $620.
3. Mildly Bearish Zone (Red Box):
* Below $600, the price enters the red zone, with PUT support around $595.
* A breakdown below $600 would likely target $595 as the next stop. A break below $595 could lead to further bearish pressure down to $590 or the extreme bearish zone.
4. Extreme Zones:
* Extreme Bullish Zone: Beyond $620, indicating a strong gamma squeeze.
* Extreme Bearish Zone: Below $590, signaling a potential negative gamma squeeze with increased volatility.
5. Options Oscillator:
* The IVR (Implied Volatility Rank) is 17.6, indicating low relative volatility.
* The GEX is predominantly positive (61% CALLs), slightly favoring bullish sentiment, but the proximity to the Transition Zone means caution is needed until a decisive breakout.
Trading Plan for Tomorrow:
Bullish Scenario:
* Entry Trigger: If SPY breaks and holds above $610.
* Targets:
1. $615 (Initial CALL resistance).
2. $620 (Extreme Bullish Zone boundary).
* Stop Loss: Below $608 (inside the Transition Zone to avoid false breakouts).
* Strategy: Look for increased volume and momentum as confirmation. Scale out at $615 and $620.
Bearish Scenario:
* Entry Trigger: If SPY breaks and holds below $600.
* Targets:
1. $595 (First PUT support).
2. $590 (Extreme Bearish Zone boundary).
* Stop Loss: Above $602 (to manage risk within the Transition Zone).
* Strategy: Monitor for a breakdown with significant selling pressure. Scale out at $595 and $590.
Scalping Suggestions:
1. Use the 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes for precision entries around $600 (key pivot).
2. Watch the volume and price behavior near $610 or $600:
* Consolidation near $610 could lead to a breakout (go long).
* Rejection at $600 could lead to a breakdown (go short).
3. Avoid trades within the Transition Zone ($600–$610) unless you see clear momentum.
Key Levels to Watch:
* Resistance: $610, $615, $620.
* Support: $600, $595, $590.
SPY approaching top of channel that started back on 2016SPY approaching top of channel and RSI declining during same time frame. I'm seeing that this will play out in late winter/early spring, so plenty of time to prepare. Once it does dip there is strong support on bottom of channel which will coincide with the 50 Month EMA.
SPY will continue to go up tomorrow and for the rest of the weekI use the Heikin Ashi candlestick as they show more of a directional move within the candlesticks. Today the market went up, although you cannot see that on the Heikin Ashi Candlesticks (just on the regular candlesticks.) Typically, I would not enter until I see 2 green candlesticks on the Heikin Ashi candlesticks. But you can see on the 1-3 hour charts that all the indicators are suggesting an upward move. The 4 hour candlesticks are just about to change to a bullish move.
In the past, the SPY has made a 34 point upward move. This would put the target of 609.
The 1.618 fib move would be 614.38. This is my second target.
Typically, the SPY has had a 9-12 day move in the past once the Heiki Ashi candlesticks turn green. That would make the time target of Jan 27 to 30th. I think the move will be until Jan 30th as the market should decline from Jan 31st until Feb 6th. (just before the release for the employment situation in the USA.) This is my time target.
There could be an extreme move of 53 points to put the target to 628, but that is an extreme move not an average move.
In my past charts, I mentioned I thought the market may decline in February as the market has moved upwards for 3 months and down for one month. I no longer think that will happen due to the market declining from the middle of December to Jan 10th. If you switch to a weekly chart to look at the indicators, you can see there was a decline during that time. Currently, the weekly indicators are just starting to suggest a bullish move.
I use the DMI, Stoch RSI and the MacD as my indicators as well the Heinkin Ashi candlesticks to help with the directional moves.
